Merlot
Merlot is one of the great, fancy grape
varieties of Bordeaux region in France but
languishes a little in Australian conditions.
Popular for its soft, juicy fruit characters
when made into wine, Merlot has found
little traction in terms of regional style in
Australia.
Generally known for aromas of plum,
chocolate, mulberries, mint and hints of
herbs and a palate that echoes similar
characters, Merlot is also very suited
to blending with other grape varieties.
Cabernet Sauvignon are the classic
Bordeaux combination, and Australia has
done a very good job emulating the style.
Merlot’s plushness fills the mid palate hole
of Cabernet, or so the saying goes.
